I wish my hubby can be more hands-on and supportive.. my hubby's idea of helping is by staying at home (not going out) with me.. all he does at home is to play iPad, surf youtube, online shopping.. while i do the feeding (via bottle), change diaper, bath, coaxing the baby to sleep 24/7.. I am so stressed out.. how can I talk to him about being more hands on? I need to have time out too..

Tell him what you need done. 'Lambing' also helps. Us new dads tend to stretch our partner's patience. If we ask you "can you handle the baby's bottle-feeding/bath/diaper-change/etc.", and you tell us 'it's ok', then we tend to take your answer at face value and continue on in what we were doing before aaking the question. Involve us. Sometimes we need explicit instructions. :P
